f your child is ill, or has any of the following symptoms, we would appreciate it if you could call us so other parents can be informed if it is potentially contagious.

Some common signs and symptoms, for which you should seriously consider keeping your child at home:

High temperature

Unidentified rash

Vomiting or diarrhoea

If we are unsure about any health-related issues, you will be asked to collect your child and get a doctor’s clearance certificate.

If your child has begun a course of antibiotics, then we ask you to keep your child at home for the first 24 hours following the commencement of the medication.
